Mrs w. d. JennersOn, who is The
mother Of Horace JennersOn, the sub
jet Of this account, resides on North
street between Eighth and Ninth.
Yesterday, some time after dinner
Horace's sister went to his room,
which was vacant, but there found 3
noteto his mother, saying she would
never see him any more. AS he
had been paying his addresses 10 9
respected young lady in the eastern
part Of the county but It would seem
had declined further attention, q
friend Of Mrs. Jennerson's family
went TO the young lady's residence
to discover II he was at that place or
in the neighbOrhOOd. The search was
fEnitless, and no clue to his where
abOuts was obtained, until In the
shades Of the evening the sis
ter went out to the stable 10
feed the horses, when In gathering
up an armful Of hay she caught hold
Of her brother buried underneath.
He assumed an upright position and
a number Of men in the vicinity be-
ing called in an effort was made to
detain him until a doctor could be
called, as he was acting queerIy, but
he broke away, pushed the stable
door open, and fed, and those who
went in pursuit failed 90 Overtake
him.s Up to the hour Of going 10
press, at p. NJ, no additional infOF-
nation Of the runaway has been
gained, but he will without doubt be
captured In few hours. It was an
nOuneed that he was to be married
to the young lady alluded 10 (whOse
name we suppress out Of respect to
herself and family and his brain has
undoubtedly become affected by the
young lady declining his future at
tentions.
We deeply sympathlze with the |
family Of young JennersOn because
of the serious turn Of affairs and !
trust that he will speedily regain his
full senses. He was regarded as q
bright and energetic young fellow.
He graduated from the Salina High |
School three or four years since.
His sister Annie, was also a gradu-
ate at the late commencement Of the |
same school.

The Journal does not wish to in
terfere with the ErCHiHg Herdid but
the first thing 10 does Is to put the
price down 10 ~ cents per month,
81 10 cents below our price. Every
body knows that this is done to
injUre the Herald if possible. II
not that il Is because Mr.. Sampson
figures that he cannot secure sub
scribers for Rn evening paper and
charge the same as the Hcr0id. Il
is our opinion Il won't be long before
he will lie "beefingn about not max
ing any mOney.-Heraid.

The COncordia Empire speaks as
follows concerning a lecture deliver
ed by DIR. Bishop in that city:
The lecture In the NJ. +. church
Sunday evening on Christian Edu-
cation by VIM. Bishop ID. D., of Sa-
lima, was a mastery address. He
argued that an education that leaves
out the proper training Of the con-
science does not properly fit persons
for citizenship; that pure intelleetu-
ality alone will not qualify persons
for social and political duty; that
the strength and stability Of a gov
eminent depends not on force, or
wise legislation, but upon the en-
lightenment Of the public conscience
which is only the average Of private
cOnsciences.
The DIR. is a very logical thinker
and the lecture is the Outgrowth OF
many years Of reflection on the edu-
catiOnal problem.
